A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Ala King, this recipe adds depth and richness to the flavors while maintaining its comforting essence.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to keep the sauce light.
Add the flour, salt, and pepper, stirring constantly to form a roux.
Cook the roux for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form.
Warm the milk slightly before adding for a smoother sauce.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms, cooking until tender.
Sauté the vegetables separately beforehand for enhanced flavor.
Stir in the chicken and nutmeg, heating through.
Shred the chicken finely for even distribution in the sauce.
Serve the mixture over toasted bread slices.
Cut the toast into triangles for an elegant presentation.
